magnetic. vibrant. freedom. creative. cultural. these words only begin to describe the music and talents of siji. singer/songwriter/producer, siji has steadily and carefully crafted an original body of work he terms a spiritually tinged blend of soul and traditional african music.

a joint effort between prins thomas and word and sound- the idea behind the label is to put out good music and not limiting ourselves to stick with a specific genre, instead opting to stay fresh and individual with each release going in every direction we feel. we re gonna be highlighting new talent, re-releasing some lesser known nuggets and certainly give you some dancefloor killers along the way to. from japanese techno to california kraut : ) just the way we like it... second release up is a taste of what s to come later in 2008 when we drop windsurfs debut album. these 4 tracks where initially planned for release on sentrall but where for some strange reason scrapped and made available as mp3 only. too sad as this is some of the finest heady downbeat electronic music to appear in the current baleric,cosmic blah blah blah call it what you want scene. windsurf consists of 1 part sorcerer and 1 part hatchback, both has records out on tirk and thisisnotanexit respectively and they ve also managed to deliever killer reworks of lcd soundsystem and shawn lee s ping pong orchestra(to be unleashed early 2008). crafting their own musical universeout of layers and layers of guitars and synths, never going for the obvious... well, im not gonna spend more time trying to convince you, check it out at wordandsound.de(paste in appropriate link here f.ex....)

fenou - the sublabel of mos ferry prod. for more experimental tracks between minimal and electronica leaves the path of releasing only minicompilations with fenou05. kadebostans >grand theatre e.p.< is an homage to fantastic voices from a distant place, as it seems. with his first ep on freude am tanzen he already showed that his music is a melange of longingly melodies, melancholic vocals and minimal instrumented electronics

supported by mihalis safras, 2000 and one, tobi neuman, emerson, laurent garnier and jimpster!! london meets berlin, broom meets rotary... mark broom destroys the restricted minimal heads with this 4 nice tracks of modern electronic soul combined with good old techno understatement! including 2 quality edits by two_em and el locco. be fast - only a few limited copies!!

flemming >king of the cut< dalum and moustache records are very proud to present the true 1984-1985 italo feel: 2 eps containing some of the most rare and obscure italo releases ever produced. most of the tracks never came out on 12 inch before! on vol. 1: paul rays superhit >my machine<, a 130 bpm straight forward high energy track, the vocal and instrumental edit. for the real italo lovers... only 500 copies available

the beginning of year three in the adjunct chronicles is marked by a 12inch by our own apendics.shuffle. kenneth james gibson has been bombarding the techno scene consistently for the past few years. u_derline, orac, friends of tomorrow, mos ferry, sunset diskos among other labels have served as the carrier for kens deadly weapons. remix duties are taken on by the one and only mathias schaffhäuser , a renowned techno superstar and the founder of ware records. there couldnt have been a better title than >no reduction< to literary describe this monster of a track - ken has unleashed the entire arsenal of his studio for the creation. stern synth patterns pizzicato their way through the track, deep sea signals ring in the background, distorted vocal snippets insist on taking >all the money<. energetic and magnetic dancefloor number dedicated to the real freaks. mathias approaches the rework with smooth drumming and a velvet bassline. the cheeky cabaret vibe however never settles: the diabolical pizzicato of the original returns and the voices continue their demands for (what all adds up to in the end) >no reduction<. oblivious filth brings yet another layer to this joint. beautifully crafted sounds mingle with electro-mechanical noises, layers of melting textures lure the listener into a late night wonderland

patrick dsp & dj pauze have set up hardsignal for producing quality, pumping dance music. to celebrate their 10th release on the label these men spent the last few months in their toronto based studio. their hard labor results in a full blown album featuring their highly acclaimed sound. here we have 8 seriously pumping tracks of crystal clear techno

dj alex romano comes out right with a track banging with chunky beats, ultra-funk grooves, trumpets, synths and a very familiar sample. the 12” package also has remixes by dutch youngster jordan rivera who gives the track a more minimalistic approach using only chopped up snippets of the sample adding ongoing stabbing synths and whirling sounds.

ultra limited - 500 copies only!!! remixes of the glasgow band by the autokratz (kitsune) and the dead soul brothers aka hervé (dubsided, count of monte cristal) with his old chum seba in tow. limited copies

with blind way, franck roger is going back to the early years of house. in fact he shows a lot of himself, musically and vocally, taking us onto a fascinating night-tracky journey. some may call it old school, franck simply calls it 100% pure house music. i dream of u is a little shout out to the wonderful & inspirational detroit scene. the hypnotic chimes loop, turnin around a looped bass, whilst stabs drive this riveting track along its way. only for real house lovers! call it detroit house but why not also call it paris house music!?

incl massi dl rmx !! deep spheric and acidic powerful techmover by frankie, leftroom, s.electronique artist. the time has come for the young bloods to take over, and here we have 2 really talented young artists from the mediterraneans new bread delivering some brilliant peak time techno. yin elek aka cristobal jurado is one of valencias most active creators. his music has evolved through dark electro to techno, minimal, dub, house... no prejudices, just interesting music. currently holding a residency at overflows metro dance club playing with many national and international artists in clubs and parties all over spain. massi dl aka massimo di lena is already well know thanks to his releases on multivitamins, frankie recs. leftroom and safari electronique. the artists from naples, only 19 years old, has proven himself to be one of those music writers that are always able to create dance floor killers, with a jackin elegant sound that improves everyday and god knows where it will take him

>life is the only drug i wont ever give up<. this is probably the most life-affirming claim ever forwarded by ware- labelboss matthias schaffhäuser and its made to fit the party. and as hes being the guest on a very special label hes going all the way. totally in accordance with the wir-label-philosophy, the title track shows off lots of modern producing skills, never sticking to just one rigid idea but coming along with a whole bunch of attitudes. pop-induced vocals are artfully woven into minimal beats, housy strokes meet sound concrète, and the whole combines to one neverending track, leaving the elitist style ghetto behind and delivering itself to the pulsating life outside, leading to a truly beautiful work clearly thats one hell of a challenge for every remixer, but lovable atom smahing mathias kaden is the right man at the right place, as he knows how to deal with emotional content under the influence of the contemporary raw. his eleven-minute-opus tightens, focalizes, piles and moves around the original material, but without betraying its spirit. this remix seems larger than life but still maddingly gripping and you get the overwhelming impression that here every angle leads to another, every bit communicating. its a nation under the groove, all in one track, and its here to be heard

patrick lindseys funkwelle imprint is one of the big surprises in autumn 2007. with only two releases, saying dubfires >roadkill< and patricks >wanton mood< this label can be found in lots of different dj cases at the moment. this brand new single shows the two different faces of the former harthouse producer. >kami kamikaze< is a what the name already says, a tech house killer sawtooth dance floor attack and >the darkelf< continues the tradition of >im tagtraum versunken< and gives you for sure the creeps.

the original mix of tape replay is nearly nine minutes long and can only be described as a journey. its the perfect transition track, able to turn minimal sets into future disco, a house set into electro-funk, a techno set into a live jam-a-thon or a rigid set of any kind (like too many these days) into something with emotional depth. for remix duties we have enlisted our favorite producers will saul & tam cooper from simple records. much like their tech-house revision of phoniques bang, recently released on dessous, here on fresh meat they have put together a subtle yet bassy response to the wow & flutter original. the track builds and builds and at about three fourths through it explodes with lush keys, rich pads and a breakdown thats executed perfectly. these gents are on point and we are more than excited to have them along for the trip.

very strong release by martin landsky. -killer with a monster beat!- (record of the month in de:bug), -a corker from martin. really intense. manages to capture a futuristic feeling whilst still using classic sounds and percussion. superb! (will saul)-. already suported by argy, clé, dave dk, emerson, karotte, m.a.n.d.y., huntemann, phonique, agoria, chloé, d julz, fex, laurent garnier, sian, jeff bennett, jamie jones, mike monday, st. sebastian, will saul and many more. martin landsky is back with another strong release: >man high<. honni soit qui mal y pense, >man high< doesnt intent to glamourise drug abuse. its a tribute to captain joe kittinger and the man high project, a pre space-age military project that took men in balloons to the upper layers of the earths atmosphere. not only took the balloon joe kittinger to a record high, he also performed a sky dive from 75.000 ft. imagine how yo feel, falling free from the stratosphere, close to unconciousness, rotating like mad with 22 g … martins track >man high< captures a bit of that vibe with its live played wildpitch- like oscilating synth modulations. all three tracks on the ep are breathing martin landskys special analogue sound treatments and a rocking old school vibe. b1 builds a bit more subtle while b2 is an offbeat driven dancefloor smasher. brilliant release

nice price deal !!! not only touch your mind is the first production but also is the first track licensed on a label for jeff di feno and jyack alls, two 24 years old producers living in paris. in addition to the original dub version that is a massive dance floor track, karine adds lyrics and transforms this track into a massive radio tune! arias, muttonheads and tristan garner cannot wait to remix this track using their personal touch

bass heavy music… legendary tyree cooper bangs out 4 tracky treats sprinkled with old soul and disco …one time 300 unit repress only !

igor tchkotoua and dan duncan are true workaholics. not only are the two mallorquinos forming one of the most exciting techno duos of our time and play in the most famous clubs worldwide, they always make it to pop up in the studio to work on their releases on sonic society, wig records or like in the case of >deliverance<, the new 12inch on cocoon. >deliverance< starts quite cautious but the track becomes more and more complex – pig & dan give the dj a tool that fits the minimal raver like a custom-made suit. the b side is again one of those tracks that put a smile on your face. in >sly detector<, atmospheric techno sound unites with energetic celebration pleasure, just as we know it from tracks like >after ibiza< or >on to the beat<. the rolling hookline which has the necessary splash of acid is, together with the floating trance layer, adrenalising to such extent that nothing else remains to be done but to raise your hands in the air. the track was already a hit with many djs in 2007, and will be one – chosen in the right moment – on many dancefloors in 2008, too

unsoaked girl (a1) is probably one of the deepest and best works that rush ever delivered. soulful strings and a bassline that sounds a lot like early saunderson makes it hard to believe that mr. snare-and-bass has been working here. wonder why he didnt keep up like that… one time 300 unit repress only !

dream disco is the project of rotterdam based producer dj overdose. only sixteen years old he started his dj career and has been involved in the electronic music scene of the netherlands since the mid 90ies with remarkable releases on labels like viewlexx, bunker or murder capital. as dream disco, his italo disco project, he released his first 12inch in your eyes on das drehmoment records

with that old speed garage alarm and strings that will make you think of the rough early days of drum n bass, this smashing remix surely makes for a massive dancefloor hit! cut up, re paste and break it down! new york based japanese producer yellowtail, formally known as hiro awanohara, hits us up with his debut release on the raw fusion label. and what a debut its got all those little finesses we like, raw, dirty, cut and paste beats with deep and sawed up bass lines. but not only that, we also get a fresh rhyme (caribbean style!) by uk based mc juakali to make us get jump up on it! and folks, this is just the flipside?on the a side of the vinyl release we get to go back in time, michael j fox style! its like something taken out of an old dark and dirty garage club in london back in the mid 90?s when yellowtail remixes his own original grunt with this ripgroove like 4/4 production.

tip! a lasting impression melody track , lmtd one sided 500 copies only

christmas number one by the black arts is a collaborative single by britains finest art noir group: black box recorder, and britains finest punk art group: art brut. a genuine celebration of christmas with a song written by john moore and luke haines, clearly influenced by slade, wizzard, ernie the fastest milkman in the west, william burroughs and war of the worlds. there was only one person who could convey this message of good cheer, their dear pal eddie argos (art brut). the limited edition 7inch (limited to 1000 copies) comes on festive green vinyl and features the b side glam casual

you may already know barem (aka mauricio barembuem) from his releases on (un)foundsound, pariter and phonocult or from his remixes on resopal, mos ferry and einmaleins. if so you, wont be surprised in the slightest to find him surfacing on minus with never better than late to round off what has been another groundbreaking year for this ubiquitous label. the electro flavoured broken beats of so serial (digital only) make it the perfect tool for opening a set or for shifting the mood. the melancholy tones, the massive snare reverbs and the low, stuttering acid bassline gradually turn up the pressure before eventually triggering the 4/4 section, establishing the perfect platform to propel the eve! ning onto the next level. the fantastically titled ears conclu! des the release,offering more subsonic trickery in a similar vein. the percussive licks shift up and down amid a wash of reverbs and delays, while the bubbling bassline motors forward, keeping the scuttling efx in check

limited edition upfront promo copies...not only touch your mind is the first production but also is the first track licensed on a label for jeff di feno and jyack alls, two 24 years old producers living in paris. in addition to the original dub version that is a massive dance floor track, karine adds lyrics and transforms this track into a massive radio tune! arias, muttonheads and tristan garner cannot wait to remix this track using their personal touch!

ltd upfront promos , boddhi satva and abel tabu have fused their interpretation of african music by returning to their roots, providing us with one of the most interesting projects this year on atal music. they asked the talented congolese guitarist, danny mpiana, to bless their production with a true central african musical feeling ensuring they capture and soothe both heart and soul of dancers and listeners worldwide. the name boddhi satva has become for the most part, synonymous with deep, afro ancestral beats, melodies and rhythms. all these elements and more are present in his past productions, so its only fitting that he capitalize on this trend and join forces with his friend abel tabu to bring forth the best of both musical backgrounds. the end result is moina ya mokili, a formidable collaboration that confirms their true love and passion for deep soulful music. furthermore, this project is endorsed and enriched with support from abicah soul. his remix incorporates scintillating afro latin smooth, yet powerful beats and the signature abicah soul touch of deepness.

next hypnotical gel abril two tracker !! on the a-side, >200 grams< cannot be the weight of this heavily bouncing and hypnotizing tune. with a distinctive quirky line and a heavily bouncing groove like we are used from gel abril, “200 grams” keeps you moving all the way up to the main break, and then takin you back into the dubby old school groove. if the a-side was freaky and bouncing, well the ep title-track >your face is a mess< on the b-side can only be descibed as a dirty mindblowing minimal/tech house track with a druggy vocal all over and a very stripped down synth line

a taster of the whats to come from moby in 2008! only 900 copies pressed

comes with a nice disco mix by bangkok impact. big new track by unit 4 called new day which was scheduled to be released on clone records during the summer but due to delays now only available as white label release. massive sounding track that follows up on their big body dub. this track is in the same vein as their previous release but has a bit more electro-techno-ish feeling. nice mixture between disco, electro, house and techno. great hook line and powerful bassline makes this another essential track

hes re licked soul of man, re mixed queen and re touched prince to name but a few, so what could the boy wonder a.skillz possibly put his hand to next i hear you ask? yes you guessed it, its none other than the original kings of pop the beatles!! strawberry jam forever is a catchy party starter like no other and has gained plays from pete tong, annie mac and sir krafty of kuts for that very reason. and if the kings werent enough hes only gone and remixed a reverend as well. soul legend al green gets the once over on with you, whilst collapsed lung booty eat my shorts completes a rather formidable package!

to all intents and purposes this is the 2nd binary chaffinch release (except its not billed as binary chaffinch cos its milo on his own and its not got a vocalist. binary - 2, chaffinch - songbird). similarly insane as false energy and even more dancefloor friendly, milo has pulled out all the stops on this one. this is the one to drag dissidents wonky leftfield aesthetic kicking and screaming into the primetime dancefloor chaos. only 200 copies knocking about!
